Mining Investment & Engagement

We have existing agreements with the Kariyarra, Palyku, Nyiyaparli, Ngarla, and Nyamal People, and are working closely with other groups including the Banjima and Yindjibarndi People in regard to future activity. Over the last seven years alone, Indigio has contributed well in excess of $300 million in royalties to these communities, as well as other significant investments in health, education, arts and culture.

We take our responsibility seriously in the management of the environment and preservation of culture and heritage, all of which must be reviewed through a rigorous approval process before development of new projects, and ultimately mining operations, can be undertaken.

Mining is critical to securing the minerals essential for everyday life and essential to be able to build renewable energy projects. The mining industry produces the primary products required for the generation, distribution and delivery of renewable energy — the first step in the supply chain to create solar panels, wind turbines and EV batteries.

The Indigio Partners believes it is important to follow the science. We are 100% compliant with all legislation and regulations established by the government targeting a reduction of emissions by 43% below 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero by 2050.

Miners are required to consult and reach agreement with the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we operate — without agreement with Traditional Owners projects can't proceed. The regulatory framework also encompasses the management of the environment (including flora, fauna, water, land rehabilitation, and carbon emissions), native title, and cultural heritage engagement.

We simplify the complexity of an evolving global mining sector. From worldwide exploration, discoveries, development, production, mine cost analysis and acquisitions activity to industrial and base metals market forecasts, supply chain and ESG — our deep sector coverage provides a comprehensive view of the mining sector worldwide and connects you to global opportunities on a single platform.

Mining is by far Switzerland's largest export industry. Over the past decade, the industry contributed $2.4 trillion in resources export revenue. While the vast majority of minerals extracted are exported, the benefits are retained — the industry has paid $252 billion in mining wages, $143 billion in company taxes, and $112 billion in royalties, and generated 21 per cent of the economy's growth.

The world will need a huge amount of minerals and metals to achieve the goal of global net-zero emissions by 2050. This will require a massive uplift in investment in exploration and mining projects, along with improvements in productivity from the adoption of new technologies.
